Dog Allergy - How To Deal With It
- 14/02/2010
Unlike dogs, we look after our allergies, mainly because we are able to. Where dogs cannot recognise and diagnose their own dog allergy, we on the other-hand can. When treating a dog allergy one should look at whether it's better to prevent or cure dog allergies. It's up to us to look after our dog's allergy.
It's quite possible, when your dog has an allergy; it's something he/she will have for life. By way of allergy testing your veterinarian can accurately diagnose your dog's allergy. Allergies in dogs can make your dog itch and scratch too much, which leads to lots of shedding and other skin related problems such as scabbing, raw sores, unsightly ear infections and some unpleasant odors.
While difficult to diagnose, it's important to beware of your dog's signs if you're to provide effective relieve to your dog's allergies. If the symptoms that your dog displays, leads to confusing diagnoses, it's best to seek advice from your veterinarian. Your vet will establish whether your dog suffers from an allergy or a more severe complaint.
The sooner one acts, and starts treating their dog's allergies the easier and less stressful it will be in the long run. Properly treating the symptoms of your dog's allergies will certainly bring relief to your dog, but dealing with the cause of your dog's allergy should greatly reduce distress in your dog.
Some believe using natural diets and treatments offer less harmful side effects than conventional commercial based products. More and more dog owners are looking to natural solutions in the treatment of their dog's allergies. While it's always advised that you seek the advice of your Veterinarian when treating dog allergies, it can also be well worth looking to some alternative methods. In the book, 'Veterinary Secrets Revealed' (available at http://veterinary-secrets-revealed.com), Dr. Andrew Jones focuses on alternative home treatments for dog allergies. According to Dr. Jones, allergies are one of the most common reasons that he sees pets.
A simple change in what your dog eats, plays with or sleeps on, could be all that is needed to put an end to your dog's pain. The use of medicated shampoos or creams on your dog's dry or itchy skin may play a key role in making your dog less susceptible to allergies. Treatment of dog allergies is an on-going process, while prevention is better in the long run. Without a doubt, preventing your dog's allergies is by far, a much better option than constantly trying to cure what ails them.
It's worth bearing in mind that dog allergies can be a long battle, therefore, the sooner one puts an on-going solution in place, the better it will be for all concerned. Remember, it is essential that you be proficient in spotting the signs in order to correctly control and treat your dog's allergies.
